It provides us with a better understanding of the Kingdom of Heaven than any other passage. Here, Jesus for the first time ...read more

    Parable Of The Sower

    We may all be dirt, brought out of the dust of the ground, but we have a choice of what kind of dirt we are going to be -- Path dirt? Rocky dirt? Thorny dirt? or Good dirt? We are defined by the way we respond to the Word of God!

    A few observations from the passage: 1. All the different kinds of soil received the Word of God. This is a message about people who have received the Word. 2. A complete lack of fruitfulness from all, except one. Among the people in the church, there is no fruit, except in a small group of ...read more

The dictionary definition, “an allegorical representation of something from real life, from which a moral is drawn for instruction,” does not quite explain the purpose of Jesus’ ...read more

    The Purpose Of The Parables

    Jesus Himself suggests a different reason to that which His disciples might have expected.

    THE PURPOSE OF THE PARABLES. Matthew 13:10-17; Matthew 13:34-35. It is possible to ‘Like’ Jesus without really ever knowing what He is all about. For some, He is a wonderful teacher, making ‘it’ all so much ‘easier’: yet what is ‘easy’ about, for example, Matthew 5:21-22 or Matthew 5:27-28? ...read more

    Part two of the series where we look at the soils that God's Word ministers too. We quickly see that the Word of God is powerful enough to minister to any soil given that God has prepared it to be seeded by the Word of God.
